Yes, you can most definitely be sensitive to fluorescent lighting, as are many with lupus. If you are SS-A positive, it is my understanding, that is a good indication of even more increased UV sensitivity. I have a problem from light that filters in from windows that are not coated with UV protectant, both standard and car type windows, etc.... It sounds extreme, but it can be a real problem. The same with light bulbs in homes, work places, businesses, doctors offices, etc... if they are fluorescent it can cause a flare up, rash, and so on.

If you have photosensitivity, the UV rays in fluorescent lighting can trigger flares and aggregate rashes. Wear sunblock and avoid prolonged exposure.

They give me a headech

If I am not doing well, having even a minor flare or somehow got too much sun florescent lights do a number on me. I see this most clearly if I need to do some shopping. Even after coming out of 6 mos of hell, I find I can only tolerate very short trips, I start petering out in the store.

Absolutely. Notice how you feel at stores with lots of florescent, target, Walmart etc. On certain days I have to wear my sunglasses inside the stores.
